Error/Bug - This software cannot be used at the same time as the game
Hello, I'm playing Battlefield 2042 on PC for quite some time without any issue. Last night I have installed the game on my PS5 and played a bit, all was good - but now when I want to play the game on my PC, I face this error (see attached). What should I do to fix this? Now I can play the game only on my PS5 but not on my PC. Thank you!SolvedThis software cannot be used at the same time as the game: Interception
What did you expect to happen? The game starts via steam, load EA app with EA AC and then load the game to title screen. What actually happened instead? The game started via steam, loaded the EA app as well as the EA AC but not loading the game. instead the error happened: "This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure it's not running, or restart your PC.: Interception" What device/system are you using? Windows 10 PC, launched the game via Steam. Other Information: Checked any app or drivers installed with the name "Interception". None Restarted the PC. No error on startup. Check integrity of the file via Steam. Done, no error. Repair EA AC via the installer. Success Reinstall EA AC via the installer. Success. Again, restarted the PC. No error on startup. The game was tested between each steps. Same error. Some other user on reddit seemed to have the same problem since yesterday. I recently did a windows 10 reinstall.SolvedBattlefield Anti-cheat refuses to install
Hi there, I have installed Battlefield 2042 through Steam and have not been able to boot the game as the anticheat refuses to load. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the anti-cheat, repairing game files, running the EA app as an administator, deleting all other games from my pc, turning off my antivirus and have restarted my PC around 30 times. Wondering if there is a workaround for this? Tetering on the edge of fully resetting my PC and only downloading Steam, EA, and Battlefield 2042 as I don't know what the issue could be other than what I have already 'fixed'. I have included screenshots of all problems I have encountered while trying to fix this issue. Please look and take them into account. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.SolvedThe game crashes before it opens.
I can't launch the game battlefield 2042. I click launch in both the app and the desktop, the EA app disappears and the game loading image is displayed for 15 seconds, then the image disappears and the app reappears. I tried restarting the computer, repairing the game through the app, repairing the app itself. I deleted the app and the game, deleted all their files from the computer and reinstalled everything. I reinstalled the anti-cheat and nothing helps, the game won't open. (Other games I tried to install like BATTLEFIELD 1 and 5 did work. After consulting with the technical advice in chat, I also did the following: Clear EA App Cache Close the EA App completely. Navigate to: C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop Delete the AppCache folder. Restart the EA App and try launching again. Run EA App and Game as Administrator Right-click EA App → Run as Administrator. Do the same for BF2042.exe in the game folder. Disable Overlays Turn off EA App Overlay, Steam Overlay, Discord Overlay, and any GPU overlays (NVIDIA/AMD). These can interfere with the game launch. Check Anti-Cheat Integrity Go to: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA AntiCheat Run EAAntiCheatInstaller.exe → Repair for Battlefield 2042. Update or Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables Download the latest x64 and x86 Visual C++ packages from Microsoft. Install or repair them. Force DirectX 11 Mode Battlefield 2042 defaults to DX12, which can cause crashes on some systems. Add a launch argument: -dx11 In EA App → Game Properties → Advanced Launch Options → Paste the above. Check GPU Drivers & Windows Updates Update to the latest GPU driver (NVIDIA/AMD). Ensure Windows is fully updated. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations Right-click BF2042.exe → Properties → Compatibility → Check Disable Fullscreen Optimizations. And nothing works.
